Everybody’s pretty uptight when a movie is being made and we’re out here on the web trying to get information about it. Sometimes studios overreact a little – I’ve been dressed down more than once for stuff I post, and we all get cease and desists on a regular basis. But last year IESB ran some spy pics from the set of Iron Man and, in what has been classified a bit of confusion, their ISP took the site down after a complaint by Paramount. It all got settled, yadda yadda yadda, but it wasn’t forgotten.
An eagle eyed IESB reader noticed that the latest Iron Man TV spot features Tony Stark reading a newspaper with the headline ‘Who Is The Iron Man?’… with IESB’s spy pic on the front page! I may have the occasional disagreement with the folks at IESB, but this is pretty damn cool, and it’s a fun little wink from Jon Favreau.

This is news?

Yeah it's fucking news. Would you have found out if you didn't read it here? Sure maybe you don't care, but hey, it's a fun nod. You want news, go to Variety.
Yeah this aint news, but you know what? It's funny.
At best, some peon somewhere deep in the art department did that. I'm sure Favreau has more important stuff to think about and was unlikely the driving force behind this supar funnay joek.
So did the spy pic become Paramount's property by default or did they buy it or just take it? Do images that run on a a movie news site become public domain? How would that work? Tis a nice wink.
this is the kind of news I fuckin' expect CHUD to run. If you need your daily deposit of dumbfuck, go to AICN.
Damn you Chud! This "news" upset me so much my sphincter just broke the stick in my ass.
